Msw242··on I cancelled my Replit subscription
No it's not. You do want your vendors to make money working with you. That way they are incentivized to help.
Msw242··on Passkeys are now enabled by default for Google users
Get a lockbox at the bank
Msw242··on Theory X and Theory Y management
Yeah, absolutely

E.g. doordash drivers are clearly X, and engineering teams are usually Y

Msw242··on Nanoplastic Ingestion Causes Neurological Deficits
Metal usually has a plastic coating though, doesn't it?
Msw242··on Japan's population may drop by almost one-third by 2070

More people is more good

Msw242··on Launch HN: Type (YC W23) – AI-powered document editor
>This is what could rescue traditional media if they play their cards right.

Hahaha haha no

Their hallucinations are worse than ChatGPT's

Msw242··on Federal Reserve Path Is Murkier After Bank Blowup
I don't want to live in a world where I have to track down and personally inspect the factories and farms that produce my food.

If I deposit cash at a member bank that the government says is compliant with their rules and regulations, that should not imply any risk taking on my side.

If I use a payroll provider like rippling that uses SVB as their payment rails, I shouldn't have to worry about that.

If I use a service that goes under because they can't fund payroll because of a banking supply chain issue, that seems rather hard to due diligence.

If you honestly hold that position, I suggest you get a little bit of empathy for decision-makers. It will make you a better member of society.

Msw242··on Plunge in regional bank stocks triggers spate of trading halts
They just want to blame the users
Msw242··on Federal Reserve Path Is Murkier After Bank Blowup
Nobody is calling for bailing out the shareholders in SVB dude. Only depositors.

You're going after a strawman.

Msw242··on Show HN: No code landing page I made for my startup idea with yep.so
What consumers personally and positively identify as "consumers"?

I don't see how this landing page speaks to "consumers"

It's also super jargony.

Msw242··on Teardown of the 14″ MacBook Pro M2 with Apple’s Help
36% increase inbetween generations is absolutely massive though

Prior steps were about 10% or less.

Msw242··on The Tyranny of Nicespeak (2001)
Ah yes, so that we can have graduates get B.S. in BS
Msw242··on Coworkers are less ambitious; bosses adjust to the new order
You're thinking about this policy area incorrectly

The 1% win no matter how we design the housing market. They don't need to thumb the scale

Msw242··on Coworkers are less ambitious; bosses adjust to the new order
I see the same thing. Meanwhile watching offshore salaries go up up up month after month for senior devs (5+ yrs xp)
Msw242··on Coworkers are less ambitious; bosses adjust to the new order
Ironically the top 1% don't have enough votes to block relaxed zoning, which would enable developers to bring more supply to your market
Msw242··on Automation enables founders to grow companies with fewer and fewer employees
I'm not an engineer, so it's possible there are engineers in my company copying and pasting from stack overflow

Although we have a type system so they are probably adjusting things to fit

But none of our supply chain has restrictive licenses attached, and good faith errors are usually easy to correct way before they go to trial

I know because I have had to sign off on using worse packages when our use case doesn't comply with the license on the best in class package

Msw242··on Automation enables founders to grow companies with fewer and fewer employees
Not every single startup.

It's not hard to read the licenses, and I have a fiduciary duty not to open up my company to unnecessary liability

Msw242··on FTX Contagion
How many of these VCs used their reputations to pump shit coins (which they got along with equity when they invested in these Ponzis) then sold the shit coins to retail investors?

Seems like they sold unregulated securities

Msw242··on DHS announces extension of Real ID full enforcement deadline
I can't renew my driver's license online anymore until I prove my citizenship.

Alright, fine, I have my birth certificate, and I took it to the DPS.

Well I can't just walk in... I have to make an appointment online. Alright, fine...

But appointments are booked solid for 2 months.

So I guess I'm driving with an expired license until then.

Msw242··on New York City hiring top rat killer
But the birds don't run this city. We do.
Msw242··on Do not rug on me: Zero-dimensional Scam Detection
97.7% of tokens launched in Uniswap were scams or rug pulls so far
Msw242··on Lazy, a Capture Tool for Knowledge
I have to scroll to watch the video?
Msw242··on FTX Appears to Have Stopped Processing Withdrawals, On-Chain Data Show
Just like with cyberpunk 2077, my question is, "where are the flying cars!?"
Msw242··on The elite, underpaid, and weird world of crossword writers
The frustration you're feeling is that, no matter how obvious the tone or implication, advocates will never acknowledge that it is real because what you are describing is a phenomenon that cannot exist.

It's gaslighting.

Msw242··on Show HN: Open-source user onboarding and KYC flow made with Svelte (~50kb)
hilariously, it is because of increasing regulation that users will need to upload more sensitive data to more services.

Even requesting to delete your data in the EU requires the submission of sensitive data in order to verify your identity and fulfill the request.

Msw242··on Tell HN: Beware 'Ungrowth' in Your Job
It's important to look out for yourself and your career

I'm a founder at a small company, and the current environment has us stagnating a bit

My biggest fear is that our best contributors go elsewhere because we aren't able to fully enable their growth here right now

I've lucked out in terms of how loyal my team is, but loyalty only goes so far, and the business has an obligation to enable the careers of it's contributors

Basically just saying, there are two sides to every deal and if you're not thriving due to environment, you have a responsibility to yourself to find an environment where you will thrive

Msw242··on Ask HN: Firing an employee under a month before vest?
Fire them. The other employees will get pissed if you don't.

Everybody already knows they aren't doing any work.

Msw242··on Apple is quietly pushing a TV ad product with media agencies
Because raising prices doesn't necessarily increase revenue.
Msw242··on Apple is quietly pushing a TV ad product with media agencies
What do you do when you find out that you make more per ad-tier user than you do for ad-free user[0]?

The incentives go in the wrong direction from a UX perspective
